Finding himself in the Afterlife, ten year old Billy must wait to be recycled back into the Livingworld. Meanwhile, he's stuck trying to figure out how he's supposed to survive in this backwards existence where sunlight burns, the dead are living, and the memories of his past lives are stored in a secret book.

The problem is that Billy's has been stolen, and now he has to find it and discover why the dreaded Reaper is after him.

Choose for Billy and help him find his way through the Afterlife in this new "Choose-Your-Own-Demise" novel.David H. Burton is a pure genius. Why you ask? Well... because he came up with a great idea to get kids to read! I'll tell you more in just a second, so pull up a chair and keep reading...

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! I hope ya'll are keepin' cool and enjoying this beautiful weather now that the heat stroke of 2011 has worn off (at least for a little bit - we still have August to get through).

Well, for me, July has been pretty uneventful. It's a bittersweet month for me because I will no longer be 'in my 20s' and that's kind of scary considering I still see myself as a scared, little freshman waiting for my first class in high school to begin.

But a freshman in high school I am not. Nope - I'm a soon-to-be 30 year old, married, and fortunate to have the greatest 3 kids in the world. While July has been pretty uneventful for me (I've literally only worked my day job for 9 days this month - though the days I didn't work I stayed home with my kiddos), it's been a pretty eventful month for my 10 year old son, Cameron.

After 10 days off from my day job, I returned to work this week refreshed and rearing to go. Not 5 days later and I'm already dragging my feet, thankful I have next week off because I don't think I could last much longer. I have no idea what the deal is, but I seem to be turning into a vampire (or vampyre, whichever spelling you prefer).

Does having a parent in the 'biz' produce offspring that will follow in their parents footsteps? I mean, you see actors and actresses that have children in the 'biz'. Like Ron Howard and his daughter Bryce Dallas Howard. You've got Tom Cruise and his son Connor Cruise. Will Smith and his children Willow and Jaden. How about Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, with their daughter Rumor? I mean, not all celebrities have children in the 'biz', but it does seem to happen. The same way that if a parent is a carpenter, one of their children is apt to follow in their footsteps. The President of the company I work for is an accountant/financial analyst. His oldest is going to college to study financial planning and accounting (I could be fudging this a little bit, since I'm not really close to the President - a lot of this is from heresay). What is the point of my blog? Well, like me, my children are very social. They can talk you up a storm. They love talking on the phone, going out and talking with their friends, and seem to have a lot of my personality. Loud, boisterious, and attention grabbing.

On top of having some of my personality, my oldest son has determined he wants to be a writer.
